    The food and service is amazing. Definitely recommend the tequila oysters along with a pint of Guinness, the fresh brown bread, any beef dish and some brown bread ice cream for desert. It’s the perfect gastro pub, where the food and atmosphere is perfect. Also a great place to watch a rugby match. Would absolutely recommend and looking forward to returning.
